sore mouth
i had part of my dental work completed yesterday ($820.20 worth)
it took around three hours and left me feeling as though i’d been punched repeatedly in the face. luckily, it’s feeling better today. less face-punchiness. i’ve noticed that i have to be much more careful when chewing on the unaffected side so that i don’t put any stress on the affected side..since it makes me feel like my jaw is going to explode.
also, i now remember why i hate UPS. i had a package scheduled for delivery today. i know it’s holiday season and there can be delays or whatever, that’s fine. what’s not fine is when the courier doesn’t even bother to attempt to deliver the package and reports to ups’ computer that he/she has. i tried calling their customer service to ensure that it would indeed be delivered tomorrow (the second attempt, according to them) and the woman essentially called me a liar when i told her that no info notice was left on our door or with our apartment complex’s management office and that near as i could tell, there was no delivery attempt. ugh.

good stuff. got 40 minutes of runtime of my dual cpu fileserver on battery power before it shut itself down. nice to see this stuff working like it should be.
power (obviously) went out at 22:00 today. kind of shitty because i looked forward to playing some Starsiege: Tribes with Phil for a bit. He had only been online for an hour and the power cut out. At least the UPS for the home theater stuff was capable of running my XM Radio + boom box thing for 2 hours (Ron & Fez replay for the win!) before we decided to get the fuck out of here for a bit and drive around in air conditioning. It got pretty damned hot in here.
